To get the Medusa Cat in Battle Cats, you must successfully clear the special Advent Stage called "Courts of Torment" when it appears during specific days of each month. Upon defeating this challenging stage, Medusa Cat will be unlocked as a reward.
Unlocking Medusa Cat: The Courts of Torment
Medusa Cat is a valuable Rare Cat unit added in Battle Cats Version 9.0. Unlike many other Rare Cats obtained through the Rare Cat Capsule, Medusa Cat is an event-exclusive unit rewarded for completing a specific Advent Stage.
What is an Advent Stage?
Advent Stages are high-difficulty, limited-time event stages in Battle Cats. They often feature unique enemy compositions and require strategic team building to overcome. The reward for clearing an Advent Stage for the first time is typically a new Cat unit unique to that stage.
Courts of Torment Schedule
The "Courts of Torment" stage is not permanently available. It appears on specific dates every month, offering players a recurring opportunity to challenge it and obtain Medusa Cat. Mark your calendars for these dates:
| Day of the Month | Availability |
|---|---|
| 11th | Appears |
| 12th | Appears |
| 25th | Appears |
| 26th | Appears |
During these four days, the "Courts of Torment" stage will be accessible under the "Advent Stages" section of the event menu.
Preparing for Courts of Torment
"Courts of Torment" can be a demanding stage, especially for newer players. Strategic preparation is key to success.
Key Enemy Types
The primary threat in "Courts of Torment" often involves Floating enemies. Understanding enemy types allows you to build a counter-effective team. Medusa Cat itself is designed with abilities against Floating enemies, hinting at what you'll face.
Team Building Strategies
Consider these tips when assembling your team for "Courts of Torment":
- Anti-Floating Cats: Prioritize cats that deal increased damage to or have abilities (like Slow, Freeze, or Weaken) against Floating enemies. Examples include Island Cat, Drama Cats, or specific Uber Rares.
- Strong Attackers: Bring high-damage-per-second (DPS) cats to quickly take down strong foes.
- Meatshields: Deploy cheap, fast-recharging cats (like Macho Cat, Wall Cat) to protect your main attackers and absorb enemy hits.
- Long-Range Attackers: Cats with a longer attack range can hit enemies while staying safe from counterattacks.
- Research the Stage: Before attempting, consult community resources like the Battle Cats Wiki page for Courts of Torment for detailed enemy lineups and recommended strategies.
Utilizing Medusa Cat
Once you've cleared "Courts of Torment" and added Medusa Cat to your collection, you'll find it to be a useful unit, particularly against its designated enemy type.
- Area Attack: Medusa Cat can hit multiple enemies with a single strike.
- Curse Ability: Its most notable feature is the chance to inflict the Curse status effect on Floating enemies. This prevents them from using their special abilities (like waves, criticals, or warps) for a short duration, significantly reducing their threat. This makes Medusa Cat an excellent counter to problematic Floating foes.
By understanding its acquisition method and preparing adequately for the "Courts of Torment" stage, you'll be able to add the versatile Medusa Cat to your Battle Cats army.
